02 / SELECTED WORK

Projects supported by clear technical evidence.

The portfolio is being developed deliberately. Only projects with accurate documentation, clear ownership and evidence of implementation are promoted as featured work.

FEATURED SYSTEM 01

Full-stack system Private repository In active development

Godscent Drive POS

A point-of-sale and inventory-management system designed for businesses that sell products across warehouses and temporary event locations. The system manages products, suppliers, stock transfers, event inventory, sales, refunds, promotions, reports and audit records.

Problem

Maintain accurate sales and inventory across permanent and temporary locations, including events where internet access may be weak or unavailable.

Approach

Spring Boot REST services, React workflows, PostgreSQL records and IndexedDB queues support online and offline selling.

Source code remains private because the application supports an operational business workflow. A public technical case study will document selected architecture, decisions and demonstrations without exposing private business information.

PROJECT PIPELINE

Additional projects are being prepared carefully

Software engineering and AI case studies

University software assessments and Google Colab AI projects are being converted into independent, portfolio-ready repositories. Each project will be added only after personal details are removed and the documentation accurately explains the problem, my contribution, implementation, results, testing and limitations.

03 / PROFILE

Building software with a practical mindset.

I am completing a Master of Information Technology at CQUniversity, majoring in Software Design and Development with a minor in Artificial Intelligence.

Before focusing on software development, I worked across IT support, digital services and customer-facing operations. These experiences strengthened my ability to troubleshoot problems, communicate clearly and understand how technology affects the people who rely on it.

I now apply that practical background to software projects involving business workflows, APIs, databases, authentication, reporting, offline functionality and applied AI. I am seeking an opportunity where I can contribute to useful products, learn from experienced engineers and continue growing as a dependable software professional.
